What the gurus are saying

This eye cream's gentle retinoid (HPR) is designed specifically for the under-eye area, letting people who can't tolerate stronger vitamin A products use one there. Patch testing is essential though, some people do experience redness and flaking when starting, since the under-eye skin is so thin and reactive. If irritation shows up, skip it; that area is too delicate to push through.

"They also have a really nice eye cream that has a very gentle retinoid in it. So that could be good if you like the idea of using a retinoid under your eyes. You don't have sensitive eyes, but maybe you can't tolerate your stronger products there. It also has peptides in it which help promote collagen production."

"It may cause some redness and irritation and flaking because it's causing those skin cells to rapidly turn over, which can cause some irritation when you first use it. So, I did not experience that, but I have had a couple comments where people have had some irritation when they start using this product. So definitely do your patch test, but if you can tolerate it, this is one of the best products in the entire line, especially for the undereye area, which is so challenging to treat."

DRMTLGY Skincare: Best Anti-Aging Skincare for Mature Skin Over 50 (Black Friday Deals!)
"This is their HPR Eye Cream. Love this. Now, some of you find this a little bit irritating because it does have hydropenic cologne retinoate, which is a vitamin A derivative. So, go slow. Just put a little bit on once a week and then if your skin can tolerate it, especially in that thin under eye area, increase to twice a week and so on and so on. A little hack you could do is put a little bit of the barrier night mask on in your under eye area and then pop on the HPR."

"I love this formula. Just use a small dot and [...] it just goes around the eye area. Super gentle formula, such a nice formula for the eye area and a vitamin A for anti-aging. I am so excited about this release. [...] If you haven't been able to tolerate retinol around the eye area, even like in the lower orbital bone area or the marionette lines, give this a try."
Should You Change Your FALL & WINTER ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE?
"I'm going to come in with DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream, this is one of their newer products and super exciting because HPR, hydropenic colone retinoate, is a vitamin A derivative that you can use around the eye area without any irritation. Now some people may experience irritation but it's designed for the eye area so you don't need to worry about that. I apply this first because it sinks in, it's a more watery formula."

"I much prefer the HPR Eye Cream by DRMTLGY, it has a little bit of vitamin A, hydro peptide, retinol, and it actually makes my under eyes look a lot better because it's non-irritating. You've got to find a formula that works for you and your skin, everyone is just a little bit different."

"This is a retinoid product designed for the under eye area to be very gentle, but some of you have reported back to me that this is too sensitizing for your under eye area. The under eye area is very thin like the skin on our neck, super thin, can be super reactive. So if you can't tolerate retinoids in the under eye area, this probably isn't the product for you."

"I ran out of this and switched over to another eye cream that I've been testing for you guys and I cannot wait to get back to this. [...] One of my favorite all-time products that they launched I believe it was this past fall is their DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream. HPR stands for hydro retinol pentagolic retinoate, so it's a vitamin A derivative. I cannot wait to get back to this in my evening skincare routine because I absolutely love this eye cream. I honestly think it made a difference."

"Eye creams, I absolutely love using an eye cream. Is it necessary in your skincare routine? No, but I really feel like it works nicely to hydrate the under eye before I put my concealer on. At nighttime I'm using the HPR, this is hydropeptide collagenate by DRMTLGY."

"The DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream [...] has an ingredient called hydroxypolone retinoid, which is a newer retinoid that is more gentle but yet powerful and it really does work. Retinoids are great for targeting a lot of skin issues like texture, crepiness, fine lines and wrinkles and it really helps to rejuvenate the skin. I love eye creams that contain retinoids because the skin is so thin and delicate and it's one of the areas where we do start to see premature aging."

"Nice and comfortable, this really is moisturizing, it's lightweight, it's non-greasy. I really do feel like this is a great option especially if you have crows feet, fine lines, some texture underneath the eyes. You're looking to brighten up that skin underneath the eyes, and if you do have dark circles or discoloration then of course this eye cream can help with that as well with consistent use."

"It really helps with texture, crepiness, softening crow's feet, it keeps everything nice and smooth, and my under eyes have never been smoother since using this. The cream is very rich and it really does keep the skin nice and comfortable. It can be used twice a day, but I would start with once a day and gradually increase, because we're all different, even though they say it's gentle. I've never experienced dryness or irritation with it."

"You'll see how nicely this spreads. There is a little bit of a yellow tone to it, which is quite common when you're using something with a retinoid. That's half a pump, and you can see how nicely it spreads. This is not greasy or sticky on the skin. It will dry down skin-like and it leaves your skin feeling really moisturized. So if you have really dry under eyes, I think you're going to really enjoy this one. I also have a discount code with DRMTLGY, 20% off."

"From my experience using this, it's really gentle. I've never had any irritation or dryness, but I've also been using a lot of actives around my eyes for a very long time, so maybe my eye area is just accustomed to actives that I don't experience irritation. But we're all different, so please be cautious, maybe start with one or two days a week and then gradually increase from there. This formulation also has peptides in it, and it's also very moisturizing, especially for the winter months."

"This is a really nice one. It's also very moisturizing, it's not drying. I've never experienced sensitivities with this, although you could, there's always that possibility, especially if you have more of that sensitive skin. But I like this one more than the advanced eye cream because this one is way more effective, so yes, I would consider purchasing this one again in the future. [...] And I forgot to mention that there are peptides in the HPR Eye Cream as well."
